Exhibition Catalogue “Kykladitisses: Untold stories of women in the Cyclades”, Volume II: Essays on the artefacts of the exhibition – Bilingual Edition

The second volume of the catalogue of the exhibition “Kykladitisses: Untold stories of women in the Cyclades” offers an extensive and academically documented presentation of artefacts that shed light on the unknown stories of women of the Archipelago from the Neolithic period to the 19th century AD. In 960 pages, the artefacts are thematically presented through detailed descriptions by archaeologists, historians and expert scholars.

This volume complements the first and includes rich photographic material, not only of the objects but also of the exhibition itself, offering a vivid picture of the process of its installation and the spaces in which its 12 sections are structured. This is the first archaeological catalogue to document photographically the entire installation of an exhibition, which makes it a unique example of exhibition documentation in Greece.

It is a valuable scholarly bilingual work, in Greek and English, which is addressed not only to specialists but also to the public, helping the reader to understand the multiple roles, position, rights and limitations of the woman of the Cyclades over the centuries. The catalogue is expected to become a reference for Cycladic research in the coming years.
